Map of Mamala Bay Disposal Area
Mamala Bay has been used as a repository of dredged material for over a century. This map shows the location of the past and present disposal sites. The sites are overlain on a backscatter image, with water depth contours shown in red. Note the lighter high-backscatter areas in and around the disposal sites that mark the location of dredged material deposits. The small circular features areas around the periphery of the disposal sites are interpreted to mark the location of individual disposal events. The lighter-toned seafloor area in the lower left corner of the image is a submerged reef composed of outcropping limestone.
